Following Jesus is literally free. How is a free pardon for our crimes a gift?
I did not commit any crimes and don’t have any sins, so there is nothing to forgive - and if so only people I wronged can forgive me. Also it’s not free since it’s coupled on a ton of conditions.
I doubt that you don’t have any sins. Because we all do. What “conditions” concern you?
Sins is not a universal concept, it’s a christian thing to make people feel bad about themselfs. Often just basic human experiences like lust are somehow defined as bad and than moral apostles like you claim everyone is a sinner.
What “conditions” concern you?
Something is not free if you tie it in with conditions, I know you struggle with meanings of words an logic - but try to keep up.
